COVID-19 Cancellation. BWFF 2020 is Cancelled. With regret, the Big Water Committee has decided that we will not be able to tell soon enough if we will be able to protect our patrons’, volunteers’, and filmmakers’ health adequately to allow us in good conscience to proceed with the 13th Big Water Film Festival. So, much like a hotel elevator, we are going to go right past 13 and look forward to 14– which will be held November 3-6, 2021.
All films that are submitted for 2020 will be rolled over for consideration for inclusion in the 2021 festival. The Committee will continue to screen films, and we invite filmmakers to continue to submit them.
Big Water has always been about community, and the last thing we want to do is endanger any part of our community, or seek the sponsorships that make the Festival possible at a time when so many of our community businesses are suffering economically.
We will so much miss our annual get-together.
Please stay safe and healthy! We look forward to gathering again in 2021.
